Layoff Question?
Many employees will have questions about their individual situations in the event they receive layoff notices. At this stage, Fermilab's Human Resources staff lacks the resources to deal with hypothetical individual cases. (Employees who do receive layoff notices will have individual meetings with human resources and benefits specialists to discuss their specific situations.)Click here to submit a layoff question

Q: With the announcement of the planned voluntary layoff program, I
understand the number of employees who will be offered the option of
volunteering for a layoff will be significantly larger than the population
originally targeted by the involuntary layoffs. Will all the positions
included in the original involuntary layoff program be offered the option of
the voluntary layoff program? In other words, is the involuntary layoff
target population a proper subset of the intended voluntary layoff target
population?

A: For most people, no package means no layoff. However, there are 199 employees who were not eligible to receive packages because they do not meet the eligibility criteria. Kay Van Vreede provide a detailed answer in the June 16 issue of Fermilab Today.
